crimsun(This is obviously subjective.)12:15
crimsunBurgwork: oh. In that case I'm backing away slowly.12:16
=== pygi used scons with Diva, and will use it in one of his future projects
Burgworkcrimsun: better run as I can run faster12:16
pygicrimsun: but autotools are bad as well :P12:16
Burgwork*grin*12:16
crimsunautotools are even worse than scons.12:16
pygicrimsun: signed :)12:17
theCorepygi, have you packaged Diva?12:27
pygitheCore: can't, it's not running on top of stable gst yet12:28
theCorepygi, I tried to, but Diva required a patched version of gstreamer12:28
theCorepygi, ahh12:28
pygitheCore: no kidding :)12:28
Burgworkwhat about pitivi12:28
Burgworkit actually uses gnonlin12:29
pygitheCore: the svn version shouldnt really need it, but there are still some problems ^_^12:29
pygiwhich is also buggy :P12:29
theCoreI think there was plan to make Diva runnable on plain Gst12:29
theCorea plan*12:29
pygitheCore: I know, I'm one of devs =)12:31
pygitheCore: that's why I'm telling you about the svn version which SHOULD work on top of plain gst12:31
pygibut I think we still have some problems12:31
theCorepygi, oh, I thought mdk was still alone doing his project12:33
pygitheCore: nop, for some time12:33
pygitheCore: Senko jumped on, and later I did12:33
pygibut no much progress lately as you probably know due to that *problems*12:33
crimsunhmm, why was my note on EdgyReleaseNotes regarding asoundconf removed? I was asked by fabbione to place that note.12:33
theCorepygi, I would jump in, but I got no experience with C#, neither with video editing12:34
pygitheCore: what about C & gst knowledge? :)12:34
=== jono [n=jono@88-107-14-218.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc
Burgworkhey jono12:36
theCorepygi, I'm good with C, but I'm a total ignorant of gst12:36
crimsunah, I see mdz removed it. Oh well.12:36
pygitheCore: oh :(12:36
theCorepygi, although, it may changes12:38
pygiwould be nice :) You know partly diva is based on GDV, the gst engine MDK wrote?12:38
jonoBurgwork, howdy12:38
Burgworkpygi: my question is: Why did diva use gdv and not gnonlin?12:39
theCorepygi, yeah, I saw that in the source code12:39
pygiBurgwork: ask MDK and ask Miguel Icaza ^_^12:40
pygiBurgwork: they probably made that decision at start of SoC two years ago12:40
Burgworkright12:40
LaserJockhi jono 12:41
jonohey LaserJock 12:41
nixternali see how it is now..during the "construction" phase everyone hides..and now that we are in the "delivery" stage everyone is back ;)12:48

ceroshello02:59
cerosis there a discussion section for each article in the documentation wiki?02:59
Burgworksadly no03:00
cerosok03:00
ceroswill there be one soon?03:00
Burgworkyou can create a /Talk page03:00
cerosyou mean for each article?03:01
Burgworkany you want to comment on03:01
ceroshow would i create one?03:03
Burgworkgo to the page and create it03:04
cerosok, finally figured out how it's done on this wiki03:22
ceroswell i was goint to ask about editing pages in the ubuntu documentation wiki03:23
ceroswe're allowed to edit them right?03:23
Burgworkabsolutely03:25
cerosok03:25
cerosi changed the script for installing the w32codecs for i386 machines03:26
Burgworksounds good03:26
ceroswould there be a better way to install w32codecs?03:26
Burgworktell people to wget and then dpkg -i?03:27
cerosthe mirror to plf was broken03:27
cerosdon't know anyother place to get this package03:27
cerosi was thinking there's a way to do the same thing but without creating a symlink03:28
Burgworksymlink?03:28
cerossymbolic link03:28
Burgworkno, understand what it is03:28
BurgworkI don't understand what you mean in this context03:28
cerosok03:29
cerosi have the script telling me to get the package straight from mplayerhq03:29
cerosit's a tar.bz2 package03:29
Burgworkthat is crack03:29
cerosi can't just tell it to extract straight to /usr/lib/codecs because it will create a folder called all-*03:29
cerosand then extract all the files03:30
Burgworklets see if we can find w32codecs from somewhere else03:30

nixternalholy shnikeys we did a crappy job if we just got bombarded like that06:11
nixternalwho is Caroline Ford?  She sure can pinpoint boogs big time06:11
Madpilotwe should invite her into the docteam as a proofreader :)06:12
nixternalno doubt06:12
nixternalshe is a big time bug person, and seems to always read over our work big time..i like that06:12
nixternali can fix those in the repos now can't i?06:20
nixternaland when Riddell gets a chance, can recheck them out later to fix the system06:20
nixternalall those bugs are due to us just writing over the old breezy and dapper docs...just goes to show that a rewrite just might be neccessary06:23

PlugSo.10:55
PlugOn the subject of documentation, probably worth asking here first10:56
Plugis 'gksu "update-manager -c"' acceptable for an upgrade?10:56
PlugOr should I file a bug along the lines of "provide an alias for that" or "add a right-click the tray icon to do it" option?10:56
PlugI guess that the update-manager method is the only one guaranteed to work for versions < feisty, even if it is made easier10:57

nixternalalready did it...there was only a couple small changes for the kubuntu side of things07:26
